    pto slipping on 4000 w/ SOS

    I've noticed that my pto shaft seems to be slipping. When mowing in heavy grass/weeds the pto shaft will come to a stop if the cutting gets heavy. Worked fine last fall with my tiller. I misplaced my service manual and cds, so am not sure where to start. I'm guessing it is time to get a...

    67 Ford 4000 3pt questions

    This is my first 3pt tractor and I haven't seen any other Ford 4000's so don't know if my tractor is messed up or not. When nothing is on my 3pt the right lift arm will bump against the tire. The chains on the lift arms are mounted on the outside of the arms, so they prevent the arms from...

    What size plow for a 4000

    What size plow is good for a 4000 with 3 cylinder diesel and SOS? I'm guessing a 3 bottom plow would be okay, just not sure how big of one it can handle. I know it varies some depending on type of soil.

    3pt won't stay up

    The 3pt hitch lift arms will not stay up after the tractor is shut off. With no implement on it takes a few hours, but with a tiller on it is much shorter. I'm hoping it is just some leaking o-rings or something not difficult to fix. I have a 1967 3 cylinder diesel 4000. Mine was made in...

    diesel cool weather starting

    I have a 1967 3 cylinder diesel Ford 4000. When the tractor is cold I think it takes more cranking than I'd like for it to start. It has a good battery, but I wonder if when the weather really gets cold if the battery will last long enough for it to start. It does start, but just takes longer...

    mower size for 4000 SOS w/3 cylinder diesel

    What size mower should I be able to handle with my 1966/67 Ford 4000 with 3 cylinder diesel? I'm talking about a bush hog type mower. Curious as to what size mowers people are using with this size tractor.

    Howard E60 Selectatilth

    I bought a Howard E60 tiller this weekend. This is the first piece of 3pt I"ve bought as all my previous tractors were none 3pt tractors. I did manage to get it hooked up okay and gave it a quick try, but the ground is so dry now that I was making a big cloud of dust and decided I"d wait until...

    Ford SOS

    I just bought a Ford 4000 with the SOS transmission. I've noticed that the second transmission band seems slow to engage. 1-4 respond as expected, but when going to 5th there is a longer pause than I would expect. Once in 5th, then 6, 7, 8 upshifts act as expected. Is this a serious problem...

    Ford 4000 year?

    I just bought a Ford 4000 with the 3 cylinder diesel. Was told it is a 1967. I'd like to confirm what year it really is as I think it could be anywhere between 65-67. Unfortunately the serial tag on the inside of the hood is in poor condition and the serial number part is the worst. I found...
